Accident Recovery & Winching
Professional recovery for vehicles in ditches, off-road, or difficult positions after accidents.
When You Need Accident Recovery
Accidents leave vehicles in tough spots. Your car might be in a ditch, stuck on an embankment, or positioned in a way that makes normal towing impossible. That's when you need specialized accident recovery and winching services. These situations require more than just hooking up a tow truck and driving away.
At RightStep Herriman Towing, our accident recovery team uses heavy-duty winches and proper techniques to pull vehicles from difficult positions safely. We assess the situation carefully before we start. This prevents additional damage to your vehicle and ensures our team's safety during recovery. Our goal is to get your car out of its current position and onto our flatbed for transport to a repair facility.
Our Winching Equipment
Professional winching requires the right tools for the job. Here's what we use for accident recovery:
- ✓Heavy-Duty Winches: Our trucks have powerful winch systems rated for pulling even large vehicles.
- ✓Steel Cables and Straps: We use rated recovery straps and cables designed for pulling operations.
- ✓Snatch Blocks: These redirect pulling forces to approach difficult angles safely.
- ✓Wheel Dollies: For vehicles that can't roll, we use dollies to move them into position.
- ✓Safety Gear: Our team wears protective equipment and uses proper safety procedures throughout recovery.
After recovery, we load your vehicle onto our flatbed for transport. Our flatbed towing service provides the safest way to move damaged vehicles to repair shops.
Common Accident Recovery Scenarios
We handle many types of accident recovery situations. Vehicles that slide off the road into ditches are common, especially during bad weather. The car might be sitting at an angle with wheels in mud or snow. We position our truck safely, attach winch cables to proper towing points, and pull the vehicle back onto level ground.
Rollover accidents require careful recovery. A vehicle on its side or roof needs to be uprighted before we can tow it. This takes planning and multiple attachment points to control the vehicle as we pull it back onto its wheels. We work slowly and deliberately to minimize additional damage.
Vehicles stuck in awkward positions after collisions also need winching. Maybe your car was pushed into a narrow space between obstacles, or it's wedged against a barrier. We use winches to pull it free, then load it for transport. For standard accident towing that doesn't require winching, our emergency towing service provides quick response for crash situations.
Safety First Approach
Accident recovery can be dangerous work. Unstable vehicles, traffic conditions, and environmental factors all create risks. That's why our team follows strict safety protocols for every recovery job. We assess the scene before we start, looking for hazards like leaking fluids, unstable ground, or traffic concerns.
We set up proper traffic control when working on or near roadways. Orange cones, warning lights, and sometimes even traffic assistance help protect our crew and passing drivers. If your vehicle is in a particularly dangerous location, we work quickly but never rush the recovery process.
Our winching operators are trained in proper technique and load calculations. We know how to attach cables without causing additional damage and how to pull vehicles without unexpected movements. This expertise comes from years of experience handling difficult recovery situations throughout Herriman and surrounding areas.
